LEVICK MILL — Enbridge Inc. will be closing down select county roads in the area for the next week.

The road closures in Randolph County begin today (Thursday, Sept. 19), and will go through next Thursday, Sept. 26. Such are taking place to make way for the “installation of the pipeline” for the upcoming Flanagan South Pipeline, which will run through a portion of the county, centering in the northeast.

“There’s seven roads they’re going to close,” Moberly Fire Chief Robert Creed told the MMI on Wednesday afternoon. “They’re not going to close all of these roads at once.”

“The typical road closure is four hours,” said Tracy Calhoun, Permit Specialist with the Enbridge Flanagan South Pipeline Project, in an email obtained by the MMI from Creed Wednesday. “Road closure signs will be located at the closest intersections.”

Calhoun noted that the group will typically “close from East to West or North to South,” but said that “construction can choose to move around for various reasons.”

Creed said the closures will likely happen after 9:30 a.m., so as to avoid school bus routes and work commutes. Roads should be up and running by the time both groups of persons make their trip home.
